The Twins' Spring Training: A Season of Promise and Questions
While the front office may have kept things low-key, the upcoming spring training games are a chance for fans to reconnect with their beloved team. Pitchers and catchers will report on February 12th, with the full squad joining them on the 16th. The first game of the season will be an exhibition against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on February 20th, followed by a match against the Red Sox the very next day.
But here's where it gets interesting: the broadcast coverage. Fans can tune in to 25 games via radio, with the broadcasts available on 830 WCCO, 102.9 The Wolf, and the Treasure Island Baseball Network (TIBN). For those who prefer visual action, 22 games will be televised across various platforms.

Additionally, two games will be aired on FOX 9, with seven others on FOX 9+.

The schedule is packed with exciting matchups, starting with the exhibition against the Gophers on February 20th at 5:05 p.m. CT, available on Twins.TV and Gray Media, with radio coverage on TIBN, WCCO, The Wolf, and the Audacy app. The following day, the Twins take on the Red Sox at 12:05 p.m. CT, with the same broadcast options.
